ANISBROETLI (ANISEED BISCUITS)
These are traditional Swiss biscuits, made with moulds similar to shortbread moulds. They are hard, and great to nibble on and dunk in coffee. I also make an almond variation for those who don't care for anise, I will post separately. It makes quite a bit depending on the size of your cutters, but is easily halved.

Steps:
- Break the anise seeds down a little in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle so they are not so chunky.
- Cream eggs and sugar.
- Add kirsch, ground aniseed, and salt.
- Add flour and knead to a dough. You may need a little extra flour to get it to the right consistency.
- Roll out the dough to 1cm thick on a floured surface.
- Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes, make decorations on them using shortbread moulds (or use Anisbrötli Mödeli if you have them!).
- Place on baking paper on an oven tray.
- Bake at 160 degrees Celcius for 20 minutes. The biscuits should not brown but stay light in colour.

[email protected]These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste, but I think that might be because I overbaked them. I'll definitely keep a closer eye on them next time.

[email protected]These biscuits were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. I think I might try adding a little bit of cornstarch to the dough next time to see if that helps.

[email protected]These biscuits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I would definitely recommend reducing the amount of sugar by half if you prefer a less sweet biscuit.

[email protected]I've tried many aniseed biscuit recipes, but this one is by far the best. The measurements are spot-on, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The biscuits turned out perfectly golden brown and had just the right amount of anise flavor.

[email protected]These aniseed biscuits were a delightful treat! The anise flavor was subtle and perfectly balanced, and the texture was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I loved the addition of the chopped almonds, which added a nice crunch and
